Golden brown with a thin layer of foam. Cherry and prune, with a bit of alcohol. Smooth, though, without a lot of alcohol in the taste. I like it.

I’m breaking my self-imposed “don’t drink a beer you’ve written about before” rule. I last wrote about this beer in August 2006, and I did a lot of yard work today. This is what I want to drink.
Light caramel, white head. Nice floral aroma. Malty but refreshing. I like it. I deserve it.
Mendocino Bock Beer

Beer-a-Day #99
This is Mendocino’s Spring Seasonal offering, which they introduced last year. This particular bottle was brewed in Saratoga Springs, New York.
Beautiful clear golden color. Head dissipates quickly. Aroma is so light it’s nearly undetectable. Big, malty, lip-smacking goodness.

Leinenkugel’s 1888 Bock
Feb 18th
This is a new offering from Leinie, based on an old family recipe.
Medium brown, very clear, with a tan head. Not much lacing left on the glass. Fairly malty and, I’m sad to say, with a little sulfur in the aroma. More maltiness in the taste and more hops than I expected.

I had the opportunity to visit Austin Texas recently where I was able to chow down on one of my favorite foods, Texas BBQ. My favorite is good smoked beef brisket.
I love how they do it in Texas. The beef absorbs the smoky flavor and it just melts in your mouth. You don’t even need to add BBQ sauce. If it does need a little something, or a kick, I like a tangy, vinegary and peppery BBQ sauce. Not to mention the side of onions and pickles, too.
